Finnegan works with clients developing surveillance and home monitoring technologies, where images and videos are captured and transmitted for real-time viewing and monitoring anywhere there is Internet access. We help these clients build portfolios around all technology areas in surveillance, defend against infringement accusations, and perform risk analysis before products are launched in the market.
We represented a major travel-related company in securing worldwide patent protection on a diverse portfolio of software and business-method–related inventions.
